Patentia fatal stabbing: 3 teens slapped with murder charge

Three juveniles charged with murder committed on 17-year-old Aaron Bess at Patentia, West Bank Demerara appeared on Wednesday before Wales Magistrate Rhondel Weaver and were remanded to the Juvenile Holding Center until April 30.
An old grievance between Bess and the teenage boys led to Bess being stabbed to death in an incident that occurred at about 21:30h on March 20. Based on police reports, Bess was walking from Two Field, Patentia heading to a nearby shop to make a purchase when the suspects allegedly began pelting him with bottles and bricks. Guyana Times understands that this attack stemmed from an old misunderstanding.
As Bess continued his journey, the suspects approached him, and one of the teens reportedly dealt him two lashes with a piece of steel, while the other suspect took out a knife from his waist and allegedly dealt him several stabs about his body. As a result of the injuries, Bess fell to the ground while the suspects made good their escape on foot.
Bess was then picked up by public-spirited citizens and escorted to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where a doctor on duty pronounced him dead on arrival. Police
examined the body and discovered wounds on the left upper chest, left lower stomach, and right side of the neck (to the jugular vein).
